Applicant

Parent/guardian

Other: Relationship to applicant

Home institution

Please note - if your school requires that a consortium agreement be completed before it will transfer financial aid to SIT Study Abroad,
please send the consortium form to studyabroad@sit.edu or fax it to 802 258-3296.

Please note School approval must be obtained in order to bill your home institution.

The Power of Attorney Form must be submitted by all students receiving financial aid through their home institution or intending to apply through SIT Study Abroad. This notarized form grants permission for a parent, guardian, or nominated attorney to sign paperwork on your behalf while abroad. Since financial aid is frequently disbursed after the program departure date, Power of Attorney allows a designated individual to handle your finances, including financial award checks. Although only required for financial aid students, many former participants have found this form helpful in simplifying their arrangements while outside the US.

All students paying for their program at least partially with Financial Aid must fill out either of the following 2 documents

Required for students whose schools do not have a billing agreement with SIT Study Abroad. This is for students who pay SIT directly for all program costs rather than pay anything through the university. Check with your school if you are unsure if they have an agreement.

Required for students whose schools have a billing agreement with SIT for only a portion of the SIT program costs and the student expects their home school aid to cover all or part of their portion due to SIT. Check with your school if you are unsure if they have an agreement. You must submit a signed statement on letterhead or email from the Director or Assistant Director of Student Accounts or Financial Aid indicating the amount of surplus financial aid (if any) that will be available to cover costs that your school is not paying on your behalf, the approximate date of disbursement of those funds, and the person or institution to which the funds will be disbursed. If you have any questions about this, please contact Karen Sprague (below). Emails should come directly from your school official, addressed to Karen.Sprague@sit.edu and James.Parker@sit.edu.

The Letter of Financial Responsibility must be completed by the party responsible for financial matters. This form acts as a guarantee that your full account will be settled with SIT Study Abroad, including any debt incurred while abroad. In cases where home institutions are billed for tuition, the student and/or the family are still ultimately responsible for any payment not received from the home institution.
